Question by Amber: Can I mix fat burners with fat blockers?
I am having a horrible time losing weight. I am looking into order a fat burner(hydroxycut hardcore in particular) and a fat blocker (bsn cheaters relief) but i want to make sure that it is ok to mix these. i was thinking maybe i could take the fat blocker regularly but on days when i go to the gym or do workouts, etc i could take to hydroxycut. is this a bad mix? can it be harmful? if it is not a good mixture does anyone know what is better to lose weight with?

Fat burners and fat blockers are a complete and total waste of money. Seriously, don’t waste more of your money. You can take them anytime, they won’t work anyway. It’s just another gimmick to get your money.

they dont work from what ive heard… only fat burners that work are cafeene and ephedrine besides that those fat burners will show minimal result and thats IF you eat right and do cardio… whats ur diet plan looking like anyway for fat loss?
Okay so I’m going to manufacture a product called Hydroxycut and say that it causes weight loss.
In 2003 I am going to get sued and lose for making the false claims that my product is a ‘clinically proven fat burner”
Then in May of 2009 the FDA is going to come in and shut me down for making unsubstantiated claims again and force me to repay $ 30 million to customers I sold the unproven product, including the ones with liver damage and the family of the one person that died from using the product.
Now I’m going to lay low for a bit and “reformulate” a product that now contains nothing more than herbs, spices, and mostly caffeine.
Now in July of 2010 the FTC is going to fine me $ 5.5 million for claiming my product not only causes weight loss but also treats or prevents colds, flu, allergies, and hay fever. Wow!
And yet current law still allows then to operate.
Now after 6 months I’m going to launch a huge ad blitz with a lot of “trick” language that lets me continue to sell a product with absolutely no clinical evidence or documentation.
What could go wrong with this product?
Why, because people are desperate to lose weight and there will always be someone there to sell them a “quick fix remedy” that doesn’t work. The $ 60 billion weight loss industry is just too lucrative and profitable for these guys to stay away.
If any of this stuff worked, why would 2/3 of US adults be overweight or obese?
Now, do you think it will for for you?
These supplement manufacturers are using humans (you) as guinea pigs with these unapproved products.
As long as no one gets sick or dies, or they don’t get fined or shut down, they will continue to make and peddle this crap under current law.
They don’t care whether it works or not as long as they get your money.
Possible side effects
Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
Heart complications
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes)
Kidney problems
Unexplained headaches and dizziness
Excessive fatigue
Loss of appetite
Restlessness, anxiety
Nausea, vomiting
Seizures
The only “fat blocker” that is approved by the FDA is Alli. Any other product that says it blocks fat can’t prove it.
Alli will only guarantee the success of their product combined with a diet and exercise program so why not just eat a healthy diet and exercise?
Are you figuring out yet that none of this stuff works?
